AFLW Round 1 Predictions: Insights from the Experts

Opinion: Who will win R1?

The AFLW competition is just around the corner, and footy fans are eagerly anticipating another thrilling season. But before the games begin, AFL.com.au has brought together a panel of expert tipsters to predict the outcomes of Round 1. This year’s tipping competition features Michael Whiting, the newly crowned AFL tipping champion, along with two new superstar players, Nina Morrison and Isabel Huntington.

Michael Whiting: King of Tipping

Michael Whiting, our man in Queensland, just secured the title of the men’s league tipping champion. Now, he hopes to add the AFLW tipping trophy to his collection. Whiting is not a stranger to success in the AFLW tipping comp, having won it last season. However, winning both the men’s and women’s tipping competitions in the same calendar year would solidify his claim as the undisputed king of tipping.

New Challengers: Nina Morrison and Isabel Huntington

To thwart Whiting’s quest for dominance, AFL.com.au has recruited two former No.1 picks, Geelong’s Nina Morrison and Greater Western Sydney’s Isabel Huntington, to join the tipping panel. Both players are ready to flex their tipping muscles and provide their insights for each match.

Editorial: What Can We Learn from the Expert Tips?

The experts seem to be favoring Melbourne as the winners of Round 1 across the board, with varying margins. It’s clear that the Demons have made a strong impression on our panel, perhaps due to their consistent form in previous seasons.

While the expert predictions provide some insight, it’s important to remember that footy is a highly unpredictable sport. Any team has the potential to rise to the occasion and upset the favorites. As fans, we should embrace the uncertainty and enjoy the thrill of each match, regardless of the outcome.
